Im after a set of michelin pilot power 2ct tyres for my zx6r that you all rave about,but cannot find anyone that stocks the front tyre in 120/65/17... im trying to find and order a pair front and back but cannot get the 120/65/17 tyre.can get back in the 180/55/17 no probs ,its the bloody front.anyone from england know where i can order a set online. :confused

Why a 65 on the front and a 55 on the rear

 

[bod]

thought ad stick with the standard sizes that came with original set, dont want to upset owt.

Replaced my front 120/65/17 with a 120/70/17 Pilot Powers...no problems, may just have to adjust the forks a bit....love em....

 

[arron]

i was told the 120/65/17 was an od size and dont make em...so had to get the standard 60pp on front and 2ct on the rear at 180/55/17.chaec out the tyre website and check for sizes???

 

[bod]

Ive been on the michelin website and it says the 120/65/17 is the tyre for my bike,but just cant find one.i can get pirelli corsa 3's in the size no probs.these were the tyres i was gonna get originally but u guys raved bout the michelins and i heard the pirellis were bit skitty in wet,so thought ad try the michelins.

If it were me I'd run the 70 on the front and just raise the tripples in the clamps a scosh to keep the geometry the same

 

[bod]

Am just reading reviews on the pirellis,not one said they were skittish in wet, iff owt they complained they were 2 soft,and only lasted 3-4000 miles.am thinking of going for the pirellis as can get them easily,and they sound sh#t hot. cant use bike yet anyway as wheather here is crap.

 

[ljcorby]

that's what I did.....

 

[chance]

i run 120/70 and 180/55 as they are the easiest and cheapest sets to get hold of from any manufacturer. the 120/65 is always a pain to get hold of and often puts the price up for little or no gain in performance

 

[bod]

Struggled getting the michelins so ordered the pirelli corsa 3's have red all the reviews not much difference between the two.apart from corsas dont last too long. cant wait for summer.....

 

[arron]

whats the $$$ on the corsas?

 

[bod]

I paid £202, dont know wot that converts to ur $,wont be able to give em a whirl till wheather picks up though..

 

[arron]

just looked up the currency calculator and it says your 202 is $460 buks in our money!! I paid $304 buks fitted for the rear new 2ct 180/55/17

 

[bod]

wanted the corsas originally,but told skittish in wet,av red loads of reviews and they said excellent in wet,so will get em slapped on me rims next week and wait for the wheather,I knew it was gonna be over £200 for new pair of tyres ,but wanted top rubber.you can never skrimp on tyres!!!!!

 

[arron]

yer good money = good ride = good times

 

[chance]

bloody hell, i get bt014's for £140 a set ok i still have to get them fitted but that only cost's me £7. £200 is real top money for tyres

 

[crotchrckttl]

I have the Pilot Powers in a 120/65/17 and the 180 on the rear.. I put my tires on myself and balance them too.. so didnt cost me anything to put them on.. I wanna say I paid 200-220 for the set(I bought them locally, they didnt have the front in stock, they had to get it from parts unlimited, it was like 5 bucks more than the 120/70).. It's been awhile.. and I have close to 7000 miles on mine right now....

 

[arron]

costs 12 bucks for front tyre to get fitted and 15 for the rear at the local bike shops around here.. the last set of tyres i bought was $514 bucks fitted!!

 

[bod]

Not getting them put on yet,cant decide wheather to polish the rims yet,as seen it done on here and they look great,and not got my abba stand yet.
